Le Tigre Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Didn't see any OT's or LB's that were all that great, so these were good moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OU_Stripes Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Cooper looks like a backup returner in front of Fumble Phillips. Perine looks like... not much. Just a generic depth grab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esjbh2 Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Gee, that's awesome...arguably the 2 strongest positions on the team so it totally makes sense, right? Yeah, yeah, I know, there weren't any decent LT's or LB's available, so I get it, but still ironic to me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be on the inactive roster every week freeing it up for guys like Nickerson and ...some other dupe. Dumb moves. Unless they are going to try to unload Malone for a 6th round draft pick.

I can see we're going to be more of a nickel-base defense but they have to pick up another LB somewhere, don't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see they were released for Larry and Curley (still looking for Moe) until after I posted. The Cleveland OLT sounds intriguing. Has to be better than O'Shea Duga. If we get him, how much of his salary are we responsible for? How much of Malik Jefferson's salary are we responsible for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get him, how much of his salary are we responsible for? How much of Malik Jefferson's salary are we responsible for? 1. I expect the Browns worked out some kind of deal ahead of time, but since they cut him he doesn't have a contract and we could theoretically sign him for vet minimum. Cleveland has $600k in dead money from cutting him. I'd love to see us throw 2-3x that at him & see if it sticks, but that's not a Bengals kind of move. 2. None of it, if I'm reading this right. Not sure how he could count against the cap for the next three years and not be "dead money". https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/malik-jefferson-25177/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelWeston Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 2 fantastic pickups 1. Samaje Perine Friends with Mixon and Anderson Under contract for the next 2 years Coached by Our OC's father on Redskins, (OL coach anyway, I assume run game coordinator) Completes our rotation nicely with a Bruiser 603 yards as a rookie and had 22 catches. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/profiles/samaje-perine?id=2558138 2. Pharaoh Cooper Coached by our head coach Just 25 career catches but a Pro Bowl appearance as a KR in 2017 Injured in 2019 http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/pharoh-cooper?id=2555419 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew he was out but didn't know for how long. Still.. We need bodies elsewhere but Gio is a vet blocker with good hands. Hang on to all & any of the blocking we might have. He's made a lot of big plays here, I like Gio. They aren't trading anybody. Forget I mentioned it. A savvy move of some kind just to add some depth would be nice to see. It will be cool to find out what this New-Dey squad can do, hopefully some of these guys step it up now that the games count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
